🧩 Pattern Instructions
🪵 Tree Base (Red or Brown)
R1: MR 6 (6)
R2: inc x6 (12)
R3: (sc, inc) x6 (18)
R4: (2sc, inc) x6 (24)
R5: (3sc, inc) x6 (30)
R6–8: sc around (30) FO.
Stuff firmly.
🌲 Tree Cone (worked in green)
👉 The cone is the structure of the tree. Every two rounds, you’ll add a branch layer in FLO. Continue the cone in BLO so you don’t break shaping.
Cone Base:
R1: MR 6 (6)
R2: inc x6 (12)
R3: (sc, inc) x6 (18)
R4: sc around in BLO (18) → also make branch layer in FLO (see below).
R5: (2sc, inc) x6 (24)
R6: sc around in BLO (24) → make branch layer in FLO.
R7: (3sc, inc) x6 (30)
R8: sc around in BLO (30) → make branch layer in FLO.
R9: (4sc, inc) x6 (36)
R10: sc around in BLO (36) → make branch layer in FLO.
R11: (5sc, inc) x6 (42)
R12: sc around in BLO (42) → make branch layer in FLO.
R13: (6sc, inc) x6 (48)
R14: sc around in BLO (48) → make branch layer in FLO.
R15: (7sc, inc) x6 (54)
R16: sc around in BLO (54) → make branch layer in FLO.
FO when tree is tall enough (approx. 16 rounds).
👉 Change yarn shade gradually:
- Dark green for R1–6
- Medium green for R7–12
- Light green for R13–16
🌿 Branch Layer Stitch (worked in FLO)
[(ch 3, 3dc, ch 3, sl st) in same st, skip 1 st] → repeat around.
👉 Each fan makes one “leaf.” Work fans around entire round for a full ring of layered branches.
Repeat this stitch set every 2 rounds of the cone (R4, R6, R8, R10, R12, R14, R16).
🌲 Top Crown
At the very top (final round), make 4–5 fans close together to form a tuft so the cone tip is hidden and tree looks full.
🧵 Assembly
- Attach cone securely to stuffed red/brown base.
- Fluff out each fan layer with fingers so they droop naturally.
- Shape layers so they overlap slightly and cover the cone underneath.
- Ensure stuffing is firm so the tree stands upright.
🌟 Finishing Touches
- Keep tree plain for a natural rustic look (as in your photo).
- Add embroidered “baubles” in red or gold for a decorated version.
- Top with a small crocheted star for extra holiday charm.
🎉 Result
Your Amigurumi Pine Tree is complete! With 7–8 stacked leafy layers, a sturdy base, and soft color gradients from dark to light green, this handmade tree will stay fresh and festive year after year. 🎄✨
